Chapter-2

Tosh and Gwen arrived at the hub with coffee from Starbucks. Tosh passed one to Owen who scowled. ''Jack, where the bloody hell is tea-boy?" Owen asked with his usual amount of good manners.

"Owen you know that today is Ianto's day off. He will not be in the hub." Jack replied and to prove his point took a long swig of the coffee Ianto had already made him.

''You're a cruel man Harkness. Why should you be the only one to enjoy tea-boy coffee on his day off?" Owen asked. "Because he loves me more than he loves you so there!" Jack replied childishly as he returned to his office.

Entering his office Jack spotted a tray with all his favourite things on his desk. Closing his eyes, he thanked the universe that gave him Ianto. The Welshman was his soul mate. He had never been loved or in love as he was with his gorgeous husband. Opening his eyes Jack was more determined that he and Ianto set a wedding date to remarry so that they could share their commitment to each other with family and friends around them.

The rift alarm sounded and Jack rushed from his office. "Tosh what do we have?''

"Jack a rift opening in Bute Park."

"Ok Owen Gwen with me, Tosh you keep us brief from here." Jack and his team rushed to where the rift opened.

Meanwhile outside Cardiff an unidentified man was discovered outside a hospital by nurse Ciara whilst she was on her break. After getting the doctors to take him inside and check him over it was clear that Ianto was in a coma.
Ciara asked to be assigned to his care. She couldn't explain it but she sensed there was something special about him. It was down to her to ensure that he would recover from having lost so much blood.

As they returned to the hub, everyone laughed at finding a disfigured child's toy deposited from the rift. Gwen was laughing and pointing at Owen. "You should have seen the look on your face, it was priceless." She teased. ''Shut it Cooper, let's not mention the guppy look you had." Owen retorted. Tosh bowed her head to hide her smirk as Jack headed to his office.

''Tosh have you seen the love of my life?" Jack asked halfway up the stairs.

"Yes Jack, as soon as you all left he appeared and we confessed our undying love. We're running away to elope tonight." Tosh replied with a grin at the momentarily stunned look on Jack's face before he burst out laughing as he entered his office.

The tray was still on his desk and that was not like Ianto. Jack checked his watch and took the tray down to their kitchen but Ianto was nowhere to be seen. Jack shrugged and called Rhiannon.

"Hello Rhiannon, is my better half still there?"

"No Jack he left over an hour ago, although he did mention going to is anything wrong?" Rhiannon asked.

"Oh no Rhiannon I just miss him."

"You know, you two really need to commit and be done with it," Rhiannon laughed, if she only knew. "Rhiannon we are planning to,"

"Well it's about bloody time, bye Jack." Rhiannon laughed and hung up.

Since everything was quiet and there were no more rift alerts predicted, Jack told his team they could go home which delighted them all. As they left Jack couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right.

As there's no honour among thieves, after chopping Ianto car and having sold it in parts an argument erupt among the men which ended with one being killed. After planting Ianto's wallet on his body, the other two dumped it in the nearby bay.

As midnight approached Jack was frantic. He knew his husband would never go without calling him unless something was wrong. Leaving the hub Jack checked Tesco and as much of Cardiff he could before returning to the hub. Jack ran a tracer on Ianto's car with no results. Even when he pulled up the tracer each employee is fit with, Jack still got nothing. Although the team was due within hours Jack called them all to come in early.

As they arrived, Jack call a meeting in the board room.

Owen scoffed. ''What is the bloody emergency? You could at least have tea-boy make coffee. Now that I come to think of it where is he?" Tosh and Gwen sensed that Jack was getting angry and both of them gave Owen a kick under the desk for him to shut up.

"Ok, I called you because Ianto missing. It's as though he vanished in thin air. He was last seen leaving his sister after spending the day with her and her kids."

Owen was feeling like an idiot. "Jack I'm sorry."

Jack breathed deeply. "It's OK Owen but my main concern now is Ianto."
